Leila Zhanybekova, LCAT, ATR-BC

All of you deserves affirmative care, and I would be honored to witness you and join you on your journey. Together, we will collaborate to explore your current struggles, look into your relationships, process your experiences, unpack intergenerational and racial trauma, identify patterns of thought and behavior, and develop insight into your life's path. In session, we build a warm, humorous, and authentic relationship to help you embody your values, grow more connected to yourself and others, understand and hold compassion for your emotions, and find a way forward from where you are right now.
I draw from a variety of modalities so that I can tailor my approach to best suit your needs. I specialize in working with folks who identify as LGBTQ+, BIPOC, migrants, adult children of immigrants, gender expansive, non-binary, and transgender. I also have extensive experience supporting folks working through anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles, as well as through life transitions.
It takes time and courage to find a therapist you feel connected with. I will help you meet your goals while honoring your experience this far. I am looking forward to meeting you, and getting to know your story. I aim to co-create a space with you where you will feel understood, supported, and challenged in a safe and empowering way.
